I asked a question originally here, and rec'd some good input. I am posting this as a second thread because I view it as a seperate question, I hope I am not wrong in doing so. Combining the advice in that thread with some of my code, I came up with the following method to copy STDERR and STDOUT on win32 systems. I am no guru by any means and am open to any advice and/or criticism on this method. 
#### Use cpprint in place of print ####
cpprint("HELLO OUTPUT\n");
#### WARN STATEMENTS WILL BE WRITTEN TO STDOUT AND ERRFILE ####
warn "HELLO ERR FILE";

#### DIE STATEMENTS WILL BE WRITTEN TO ERRFILE, SINCE DIE EXECUTES NO 
+MATTER WHAT IS IN THE INIT DIE STATEMENTS WILL GO TO STDERR ANYWAY ##
+##
die "HELLO DEATH\n";



INIT {
    my $outfile = "myoutfile.out";
    my $errfile = "myerrfile.err";
    open(ERRFILE,'>>', "$errfile") or die "Could not open error file $
+errfile $!\n";
    open(OUTFILE,'>>', "$outfile") or die "Could not open error file $
+outfile $!\n";
    $SIG{'__DIE__'} = \&ondie;     
    $SIG{'__WARN__'} = \&onwarn;
}

END {
    close ERRFILE;
    close OUTFILE;
}


sub ondie {
    my $date = localtime(time);
    print ERRFILE "$date\t@_\n";    
}

sub onwarn {
    print "WARNING: @_\n";
    my $date = localtime(time);
    print ERRFILE "$date\tWARNING: @_\n";
}

sub cpprint{
    my $date = localtime(time);
    print OUTFILE "$date\t@_";
    print @_;        
}
